Nokia Lumia 920 takes away 12 media awards in 2012

2012 has been an important year for Nokia and Microsoft. Windows Phone 8 was released with new hardware from Samsung, HTC and of course Nokia. The Lumia 920, 8X and ATIV S are three flagship Windows Phones that represent the best from each company regarding design, specifications and the overall experience. But just how well has the Lumia 920 been received by the media?

We understand the handset has been popular with consumers, particularly with all the 'sold out' and lack of stock coverage we published on-site late last year. Not only were carriers experiencing issues with maintaining stock levels to meet demand, but retailers themselves were too hit with unexpected levels of interest from consumers. It's still uncertain whether this was due to sheer levels of demand, or simply Nokia not being able to produce enough.

So that's consumers retailers an carriers out the way, what about the media? According to a blog post over at Nokia, the Lumia 920 has taken away 12 awards in the year of 2012. So who thought the device was worthy of an award and / or recognition?

The previous generation of Lumia Windows Phones were also awarded titles, including a number from CES 2012 and IDEA Design awards. The polycarbonate design is attractive and has turned many heads indeed. The advanced features and functionality present on the Lumia 920 will further increase the appeal of such hardware to consumers, which can only be good for Windows Phone.

Yeah I read there article about the 920. I'm the kind of person who can take criticism and a negative review, but there article was just an abomination to journalism. I have read plenty of reviews that give the Lumia 920 faults, but not just saying the phone is garbage like Forbes did

Last quarter Nokia's stock was at 2.60. As of today it is sitting at 4.11. I call that a win. If they ever make it back to $40 i will personally equip my then-acquired ferrari with the nokia tune as a horn.

I currently have a HTC Titan, Im waiting for the 7.8 update. But Im tempted, between the Nokia Lumia 920 & the Samsung Ativ S. Dont like the HTX 8X because screen too small for me, Lumia seems too bulky but great Nokia apps and Nokia support, but Samsung is lighter and great screen. Any opinions?

I think you should wait for MWC in february.. That's what I'm doing, There was an article a month ago here saying that nokia will most probably announce new Nokia lumia phones and may release it in april or may. I think Nokia now understands that it lost a lot of potential buyers just because of the bulk and weight, and will most probably try harder in making their new phone lighter and slimmer. Should suit your needs perfectly. :)

Yes, a thousand times yes. This is what all flagship mobiles should have!

Pretty pointless and would drastically add to the expense of the phone. You're better off getting a waterproof case for it - I have one that I use when I'm out riding if it's likely to rain, if I'm going to the beach, on a boat etc. You can still manipulate the screen even though it's completely sealed around the phone.

I don't think Nokia has lot lot of customers due to weight.
If in ideal world, 920 was running an OS with complete ecosystem like iOS/Android, there was no stopping 920.
I can guarantee, it would have busted all-time record of smart phone sales, more so than iphone. It's the WP OS's perception in general public's mind that is holding back 920. Day when WP get mainstream recognition for its ecosystem, phone like 920 will kick-ass.

The 920 is as heavy as it should be for a 4.5 inch screen. I've dropped mine to many times to mention and its still in perfect shape. Nokia isn't going to announce anything new at mwc just a Verizon 922 or something it'd be foolish to announce anything new so early

When the Lumia 920 first came out shortly before I got mine from a carrier, there was 1 on a local used site for $700, now a month later, there's 5 starting at $350 and $450 as the cheapest on the same site. Love my 920 and am happy that it's more widely available but retention seems to be low if that's any indication.

That's great news 12 awards even the 900 got a couple impressive that great news for WP. I've had nokias in the past and love them love my 920 red. I past my HTC trophy to a friend and she is now using it. And my wife got a yellow 920 and we gave her trophy to our son he loves it. Still like the day she got it.

Thats an interesting list of awards. One thing that is obvious is, Nokia and Windows Phone is much more popular outside that U.S. than it is in the U.S. Many people seem to use the U.S. as a barometer of how well Nokia and Windows Phone in general are doing, but we Americans are a fickle bunch with smartphones, and only seem to want iOS and Android.
